How it happened

Innoviz Technologies is an Israeli lidar maker for autonomous vehicles that went public via SPAC in April 2021 at roughly a $1.4B valuation. As the lidar sector sold off and automotive autonomy timelines slipped, its shares declined sharply, dropping its market cap below $1B to around ~$0.3B, about 79% below peak.
